GoDaddy

Use this guide if your domain's nameservers end in domaincontrol.com, such as ns07.domaincontrol.com. You add three TXT records and one MX record on the domain's DNS page in GoDaddy.

The records to add

These names are for a domain added as acme.com. Notix shows each name in the short form, without your main domain on the end, so copy it from your domain page as it is. If you added a subdomain such as news.acme.com, the names read mail.news and notix._domainkey.news; _dmarc stays the same. The DKIM name and key are different for every domain. The MX value names the region your domain sends from, for example feedback-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonses.com, so copy it from your domain page too.

Add them at GoDaddy

1. 1

   Open DNS

   Sign in to your GoDaddy Domain Portfolio. Select your domain to open its Domain Settings page, then select DNS.

2. 2

   Add each TXT record

   Select Add New Record and choose TXT from the Type menu.

   1. In Name, enter the name from the table, for example _dmarc.
   2. In Value, paste the value.
   3. Leave TTL at its default of 1 hour.

   To add the next one in the same go, select Add More Records. When the DKIM, SPF and DMARC records are in, select Save, or Save All Records.

3. 3

   Add the MX record

   Select Add New Record and choose MX from the Type menu.

   1. In Name, enter mail.
   2. In Priority, enter 10.
   3. In Value, paste the MX value, for example feedback-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonses.com.
   4. Select Save.

Things to know at GoDaddy

• GoDaddy wants the name without your domain on the end. Enter mail, not mail.acme.com. @ is your main domain, so do not use @ for these records.
• GoDaddy warns that changing MX records can interrupt email. That is about the MX records on your main domain. The Notix MX record is on mail, so leave the ones on @ alone.
• GoDaddy says only one SPF record works on a domain at a time. The Notix SPF is on mail, so it does not replace an SPF on @.
• If your domain has GoDaddy Domain Protection, GoDaddy asks for a code by SMS or an authenticator app before it saves.
• These steps only work while your domain uses GoDaddy nameservers. If the nameservers point somewhere else, add the records there.

SPF and DMARC: check before you add

• SPF. A name can have only one SPF record. Notix puts its SPF on mail, not on your main domain, so it never clashes with the SPF your main domain may already have for your mailbox provider. Leave that one as it is. If mail itself already has a TXT record that starts with v=spf1, do not add a second one: edit it to include include:_spf.usenotix.dev.
• DMARC. A domain can have only one DMARC record. If _dmarc already has a record that starts with v=DMARC1, keep it and skip the Notix one. Notix accepts the record you have. Two DMARC records cancel each other out, and mailbox providers then ignore both.
• MX on `mail`. The MX record only takes bounce and complaint reports back to Notix. It does not touch the MX records on your main domain, so your normal inbox keeps working.

After you save

GoDaddy says most changes take effect within an hour, and can take up to 48 hours to reach everywhere. Most records show in Notix within about 10 minutes.

You do not need to watch the page. Notix checks your records again on its own, and the domain turns Verified when the required records are found. To check straight away, open the domain in Domains and press Verify again. If a record is found at the wrong name, for example mail.acme.com.acme.com, the domain page says what to fix.

The records you add stay at your DNS host. Do not delete them later: Notix keeps checking them while you send.
